What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Set over three explosive days, this is compulsive, heart-pounding storytelling that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

He thought she was safe. Then the past came knocking.

Seventeen years ago, Inspector Ewert Grens was called to the scene of a brutal crime. A family had been murdered, with only their five-year-old daughter left behind. The girl was placed under witness protection, but while the case went cold, Grens is still haunted by the memory. When he learns that the apartment where the crime took place is now the scene of a mysterious break-in, Grens fears that someone is intent on silencing the only witness. He must race to find her...before they do.

Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Steig Larsson and Samuel Bjork - don't miss out on the latest Scandi-crime sensation.

Critics Review

Scandi-noir fans are in for a treat. Knock Knock is a dark read – not for the lily-livered.

The Herald

A masterpiece of a thriller. Brutal, gripping, intelligent. It left me breathless.

Liza Marklund

A tense and detailed thriller…The ending is a twist and a shocker.

New York Journal of Books

[Grens is] an eccentric, alienated, socially inept hero worthy of comparison with Swedish mystery master Henning Mankell’s Inspector Kurt Wallander.

Wall Street Journal

A perfect example of Scandi noir

The Times

[A] complex, white-knuckle read

Observer

If you thrill to the chills of Scandinavian noir, chances are you’ve read something by Anders Roslund. Roslund has two strong prose styles – dark and darker – and both are on show in Knock Knock.

New York Times Book Review

Anders Roslund is a household name throughout most of the world as a master of crime fiction, and this book is a sterling example of why.

The Bookreporter

From the first Knock Knock on the door of a murder scene to discovering the killers behind it, this novel is a breathless, suspenseful read…A heart-pounding thriller… Roslund’s serpentine plot and visceral character development brings each cliffhanging chapter to a staggering revelation on how tasty a dish of cold, karmic revenge can be.

Shelf Awareness

Breathtaking and terrific…Knock Knock is one of the best crime novels this reviewer has read in a very long time.
